Summary
This 1956 Glitter Bug Sportsman Pickup is a custom fiberglass body kit based on a Volkswagen Beetle, purchased by the seller at the Bonham’s Greenwich Concours de Elegance Auction in 2016 and driven approximately 50 miles since. It features a 1200cc VW flat-four with a 4-speed manual gearbox and comes with a matching hardtop and a clear Connecticut title. The vehicle requires servicing for its shock absorbers and drum brakes, and the tires show sidewall cracks.
